Mt Wheeler Power, Inc
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
Mt Wheeler Power, Inc is an electric cooperative that reported 5,380 residential customers in Nevada and 1 other state on Form EIA-861 for 2024, with a service territory that touches 7 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 8.53¢ per kilowatthour, 43% below the Nevada average of 15.00¢ and 48% below the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $116.02 a month on average use of 1,360 kWh a month. Across Nevada the average bill was $139.39 on 930 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
EIA's reliability file has no SAIDI or SAIFI entry for it in 2024; smaller respondents and energy-only suppliers are not asked for one.
The average price is up 13.6% on 2019, against up 25.0% for Nevada as a whole, and up 5.2% on 2023. EIA's early release for 2025, which has not been fully edited, shows 9.45¢.
